He harasses Louise, whom he would like to marry, but she rejects his proposals. Finally, he tries to kill her and then to shoot himself, but he survives.

NonindicativeTitle | |
| The Judge and the Assassin / int_118bba4 | comment |
Non-Indicative Title: The title still refers to Bouvier as an "assassin" in English. The word means "murderer" in French but it is more often used to refer to a hired hitman in English. | |

The Sociopath | |
| The Judge and the Assassin / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Bouvier has no empathy for his victims. He even says that his fate is worse than theirs. He is a manipulator (depending on the context, he pretends to be a devout person, an anarchist, a madman or a militarist). He is a serial rapist and killer. He has no real relationships (he just wants to own Louise and he uses Rousseau to avoid death penalty). He thinks that he is important and he demands to have his picture in the newspaper. | |

Crapsack World: The film shows that France in 1893 was one: the social inequalities were high, anti-Semitism was trendy, colonial wars were ongoing. | |

Sexual Extortion: Rose has sex with Rousseau because he gives her money and Rose desperately needs money to support his family, in particular her sick daughter. Villedieu's Annamite servant is implied to be his lover. Villedieu was a judge in Indochina. He sentenced the servant's brother to death. So he might have spared the servant on the condition that he becomes his lover. | |

Expy Coexistence: Serial killer Joseph Bouvier is heavily based on real-life French serial killer Joseph Vacher, emulating many of the things that happened in his life. However, a newspaper cover in the movie has the tagline "A new Vacher?", showing that Joseph Vacher exists/has existed in this universe. | |
